Trying to figure out what the chopmark on this Japanese Philippines invasion note means:



After looking at several pages of kanji, I thought to myself: Wouldn't it be cool if I could just draw a picture and have a program recognize what I drew?

Well, here it is:

?

Stand Up/ Rise/Erect
Somebody/ person/station in life

I still don't know what it means. But I thought the programming was pretty nifty

Looks like it *might* be Chinese? ?? = Li Shen = Conduct

Anyone have any other ideas?

The phrase means to succeed or to establish oneself. I am not sure what it would really mean in this context. Maybe it is an exhortation?

Thanks, sumnom. The guys on the currency forum said it was Mi-Hon = Specimen note.

But it doesn't look like a typical specimen note, or specimen note stamp.

Strange, whatever it is.

CIVITAS

Google translate has a quick and dirty version of this too. Works pretty well, though it is not as technical.

shirohniichan

It's probably a proofer's name.

Tachimi?

Sumnom and Shiro both in the same thread again? Is there a blue moon out? Good to see some of the 'old guys' post.

This is extremely cool. I love having an alternative to Google Translate. Thanks for posting!!!

sumnom

"Specimen" is ??. This one is ??.

sumnom

We old folks still show up once in a while!

sumnom

Shiro, is Tachimi a name? I don't have my name dictionary here.

I just noticed I am the oldest on the thread!

Wow.
